Welcome to the Heartbreak Hotel is the second studio album by Dutch-German singer C. C. Catch, released on 8 December 1986 by Hansa Records. The album was produced by Dieter Bohlen, who also wrote all the tracks. Like its predecessor, Catch the Catch, the album was a commercial success, supported by the singles "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Heaven and Hell". The album's artwork and the music video for "Heaven and Hell" incorporate imagery reminiscent of the 1981 Lucio Fulci horror film The Beyond.
